Behavior Change Insights Suite

Identify the levers that

drive real change.

Focused specifically on why people do or do not adopt a target behavior and which levers will most effectively shift that behavior.

Using structured barrier and motivator analysis, we get to the psychological, social, and structural roots of action.

CORE OFFERING

Barrier Analysis

A proven scientific research methodology that systematically uncovers the true determinants of behavior by comparing people who engage in a behavior (“doers”) from those who don’t (“non-doers”).

Results in a prioritized list of intervention and messaging opportunities, giving you clear direction on how to inspire change.

Self-efficacy

Social Norms

Consequences of Action

Doers

Non-doers

Overview

Our Integrated Methodology

1

qualitative
exploration

  • Conduct background research and gather information from experts
  • Interview doers and non-doers
  • Identify prevalent determinants in a real-world context
2

QUANTITATIVE ASSESSMENT

  • Design survey from qualitative insights
  • Collect a representative sample of doers and non-doers
  • Carefully code open-end responses
3

ANALYSIS &
SYNTHESIS

  • Analyze significant differences and identify real drivers of action
  • Translate complex psychology into practical recommendations
  • Provide recommendations for program design, messaging, and policy

When to use barrier analysis

Barrier Analysis is especially appropriate when:

Programs Have Stalled

Trial and error isn’t showing results.

Cost of Failure is High

When dollars, relationships,
or lives are at stake.

Gains from Success are Significant

When potential impact far
exceeds research investment.

WHAT MAKES IT CUSTOM

Designed for your goals, your audience

Target Group and behavior defined precisely

The target behavior and comparison groups are precisely defined for your context, including people living in the area you serve, fitting the demographics you’re focused on.

Adapted determinant framework

Psychological, social, and structural determinants are selected based on behavior type and adapted to the population of interest.

Segmentation by readiness

Identifies which audiences are most ready for change and which require a different approach so resources go where they’ll have the most impact.

Prioritized recommendations

Intervention recommendations are ranked by importance and potential impact given your resources, capacity, and timeline.
